Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is considered to play an important role in the reduced gout risk. However, the epidemiology results are inconsistent and causality remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the causal relationship of PA with serum urate concentrations and gout risk by a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. METHOD: Two genome-wide association studies (GWASs) from UK Biobank were...
